    Pretty much any of them with a USB power bank or even better a front dynamo setup.

    I've got one of these lights - https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-l ... 1000+lumen - so it's easy to mount on the handlebars, doubles up as a decent light/torch and will charge my garmin several times over.
  • I use the etrex 30x when riding courses away from home. Easily get two full days from a set of Duracell batteries. It will produce a gpx track for you. Proper turn by turn directions with ample countdown warnings.
    Only drawback is that internal memory is into the red zone from new, so if you want to store a lof of routes a micro SD card is advisable.

    Lezyne Mega XL has 48 hour life from full charge, £150 from the likes of PBK and Merlin during promos.

    Garmin 1030 with battery extender gives at least 45hrs of battery life. Probably more like 50 hrs.
